county In the State 20 send one or moro
Louis delegation an its Walt 20 Washing e
ton TO pursuade the President 70 visit st.

In casual conversation on this topic,
had boon extended ~ soon a. the Presi-
dents letter was received. no had no
doubt that nearly every county In tho
State would have responded. A Il 10 the
county delegates will be numerous
enough TO give great power 70 the dclega-
ton TO Washington.
The matter will be pushed for all Il 10
worth during the week, however, and u
number OF influential citizens Of St Louis
who have an extensive acquaintance all
over the State are writing TO thoir friends
TO take immediate action In the premises
In fact there il so much enthusiasm over
the matter already In outside towns aud
cities that all that IL needed IL definite
action. More than this. the mem bers Of
the authorized delegation will heartily
welcome any who desire TO accompany
them 70 " ashington. and II IL likely that
large number who are deeply anxious
TO have President Cleveland visit Mis-
souri, will avail themselves OF this priv
ilege.
To G. n. Mitchell. the editor OF the la
Platte Home Press, belongs the honor Of
having suggested that every county send
at least one delegate to accompany the
st. Louis committee Of invitation. Speak
ing Tor the people OF his section Mr..
Mitchell wrote that they wanted to take
an active part IN the reception OF the
chief magistrate Of the country, and
from numerous private letters received
by the mayor and others II Is very evident
that this feeling IL prevalent everywhere

The 'srsmpest In : Teapot" Over the Color

sided-One on the Southern Hotel
| Sr. LorIs, July 1.-THE great stir
about the color question is really much
ado about nothing. The cnlored members
OF thee. A. X who will attend tho en-
campment will be fully provided for by
the executive COMMITTEES. but all will be
privately entertained by local commit
tee Of their own race. The object OF the
Wilson committee was the informal COM
mendation Of the executive commit
tee. The members Of the latter
say that there will be present
great many colored visitors who are not
mem bers Of the Grand Army, and II is
for the entertainment Of these that the
committee was organized. Among these
visitors will be son OF the Hon Fred
Douglass. and possibly the Hon. Fred
Douglass, himself, besides a large
number OF other negroes Of National
fame The hotels do not carc to enter
tain them. and so the members OF the
Wilson committee have Is ken II upon
themselves TO see that all visitors OF their
race are accorded hearty reception.
The Wilson committee has not asked
dollar from the ex cutive, nor will II. Its
uicHi oSt> say Win pafuO1auic priue, mat
they are financially able to entertain
their race without outside assistance
This phase OF the color question Is sug-
gestive OF story told with great gusto BY
J. Milton Turner:
Last winter highly cultured colored
lady OF PhilaieIphia--a teacher in the
public schools or that city, wrote
that she was coming here to in
spect the far-famed kindcrgartens Of st.
Louis Mr.. Turner was at the depot
70 meet her but somehow or other
missed her In the crowd. Subsequently
he learned that she was at the Southern
Hotel, and be met her at one Of the schools
BY appointment There he met a pleas
ant looking lady a. fair as any brunette
American with dark, waving hair. Yet
she was negro, and associated wholly
with that race. II the managers and
guests Of the exclusive Southern Hotel
had known this. what hullabaloo would
have been raised But they never knew
u, and, herein Is the hrst intimation they
have had OF it."
